Background: Bariatric surgery is common in the Middle East region. However, regional accreditation bodies and guidelines are lacking. We present the current peri-operative practice of bariatric surgery in the Middle East region.

Impact of Botulinum Neurotoxin Pyloric Injection During Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy on Postoperative Gastric Leak: a Clinical Randomized Study.

Background: The most frequent and most feared complication after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is gastric leak (GL). We hypothesize that botulinum neurotoxin (botulinum type A (BTX-A)) injection into the pyloric sphincter muscle at the time of operation may decrease the risk of postoperative GL.

Methods: Consecutive patients with morbid obesity (MO) treated by LSG were enrolled.

Single incision transumbilical laparoscopic varicocelectomy versus the conventional laparoscopic technique: A randomized clinical study.

Background: Varicocele is the most common correctable cause of infertility. We analyzed the outcomes of single incision laparoscopic varicocelectomy (SIL-V) in comparison with conventional transperitoneal varicocelectomy (CTL-V).

Methods: Patients with clinically palpable varicocele treated by laparoscopic varicocelectomy were randomly allocated into two groups: SIL-V and CTL-V group.
